'R. gineer, and his staff are still busy on the plans for Barriefield camp. There will be several new buildings erected and these will be started as soon as the plans are confirmed and the wea- ther conditions are suitable. The larger buildings will be the annex to the administration building to acco- mmodate the increased staff, the new pay office near the site used in 1915 by the Ordnance Corps, an addition to the Army Service Corps building. There structures will quickly be er- ected as soon as the plans are com- pleted and the work started. The surveyors have been at every opportunity looking over the ground The following letter signed by 4,000 male residents of this city and the counties of Lennox, Addington and Frontenac: "Kingston, April 15th. 1916, Dear Sir:--We are making a last and final appeal to the eligible men of the city and counties to "line up" with the 146th Battalion. You have no doubt been approach- ed by some one to enlist, and have read our appeals, and attended one or more of our recruiting meetings. We need two hundred and fifty men (250), and must have them at once, if the 146th Battalion is to hold a place among the other County Battalions. Can we count on your "lining up" with us without delay. Any one of the following recruit- ing depots will give you all the in- formation you may require: Flinton, Tamworth, Napanee, Verona, Plevna, Sydenham, Parham, Mountain Grove, Fermoy, Battersea, Harrowsmith, Ar- den, Sharbot Lake, Kingston." The 146th Battalion was to have received a little stimulant for re- cruiting at Bedford Mills on Friday night but owing to the weather con- ditions the meeting had to be can- celled. Thirteen invalided soldiers are at | St. John, N.B., and are expected to | arrive in the city in a few days. ! Gunner Gorden Mills, 378 Brock | street, has been transferréd from the | 51st Battery to "C'? Battery, R. C. | H. A., and will go overseas with the | next draft. t Capt. E. H.

It is expected that the Battalion will be going overseas in three months as they are urgently needed at the front. > -- Owing to the inclement weather no outdoor parades were held on Fri- day throughout the garrison. The armouries and other buildings were very much in use. The signallers "certainly take a great interest in their work.

This certifieste: is of importance | because it appears that the fact that ; an Italian reservist is serving in any | | i | | | to any class, of the armies of the Allied forces does not exempt him from penalty for desertion from the Italian army, and all Italian reservists belonging which has been called up, must answer to the re-call, or | they will be declared deserters and liable to penalty on their return 'to Italy.

Two of these will be] military teams. { It is likely a couple of exhibition lacrosse games will bé arranged be- tween the Torontos and Nationals, the teams playing home-and-home contests. I Paul Shannon of the Boston Post says nothing has had such a dis- (huraging effect on the world cham- pions at the selling of Tris Speaker Tria Speaker says he was sold just | just like a slave. His case is truly | a pitiful one inasmuch as he is a slave getting $12,000 a year. | Johnny Murphy, the clever short- stop of the Canadian league, has caught on with Springfield of the | new Eastern league. | "Cully" Wilson, the hockey | er who received a trial with the Ta- coma ball club as an infielder, been released. has | "Rube" Marshall, a pitcher, ob- tained by Detroit from the -Chatta- nooga (Southern League) Club, has been released to the Montreal Inter- | nationals.

Pitcher Ernie Shore of the Red Sox is 15 pounds heavier than he was last season, and with this ad- ded weight has come more strength. Boston critics are now saying he has almost as much speed as Walter Johnson, but the modest Shore shakes his 'head. international championship holder, takes on Jack Britton $n 20 rounds. John J.

With the Govern- ment collecting $1,250 a day from each, the province should get a tidy revenue, but when it is all figured out, it is that dear old public that pays the shot. Two former Canadian Leaguers, Ty Tyson and Merlin Kopp, are with the Buffalo Internationals, and both haye been making good with a ven- geance in the practice games. Kopp went to Washington last season, but it was thought that a season in the would benefit him, again reach the big show next sea- son. The barring of "Billy" Fitzgerald, Catharines lacrosse coach for Hobart College, from. entering the United States at Niagara Falls, will | be investigated and fought out by the school. Fitzgerald has been inform- ed that the college has retained a leading attorney of Buffalo to take up the matter, and that Washington has already been notified. The New York Nationals will pay part of "Jim" Thorpe'z salary while he plays with the Milwankee team this year. This is the last year that the contract John MeGraw signed with, Thérpe has to Tun.

The secretary of the Cornwall Har-}* ness Racing Association has written to the secretaries of the Racing Asso- cations of the following towns, ask- ing them to attend a meeting to be held in Cornwall on Monday, April 17th, to arrange dates for a racing circuit for the coming season: Brock- | sam ville, Morrisburg, Chesterville, Win- chester, Crysler, Alexandria.

Manager George W. Kennedy having asked that this be done because the |t-- club's finances are in such a bad way that the manager's salary is unpaid the furniture has been seized by the coal man, and the landlord has been clamoring for his rent. Manager Kennedy claims $300 per month for five months, be- sides more -than-$1,000-advanced to the club by him. Prof. W. Muir Edwards, Edmon- ton, president of the Amateur Ath- letic Union of Alberta, in an inter- view, made plain the attitude of the governing body regarding the sus- | pension of senior athletics until the end of the war. Briefly it might be summarized by the statement that the Amateur Union does not believe that civilians of military age should ask the public to support their sport financially at the present time, in view of the many othér calls which are made upon the public. In the majority of cases athletes of military age should be in khaki. The sale of Tris Speaker to Cleve- land for more money than was ever paid for a player, not excepting Ed- die Collins, recalls the story of Speaker being left at Little Rock in { 1908 as rental for the ball park there. The Boston club trained at Little Rock that season, agreeing to turn back a player to Mike Finn's club in payment for the use of the grounds. When the Red Sox left Little Rock Speaker was left behind. ~ That season Tris developed into a remarkable player, and several clubs, including the Giants, made offers for him. Manager Finn might have sold him without violating any agree- ments, but he felt that Boston was entitled to first claim, so he sent the player back to the Red Sox for the sum of $500. Eight years later Tris, once a grounds rent player, is sold for the "record figure of baseball sales."
